Contemplayful Singing: the Craft of Co-Enchantment Conpfu Sg: The Co-Enann Craig Green <[email protected]> What is contemplayful singing? And what’s the craft of co-enchantment? To contemplay is to contemplate playfully, to inquire, practice, improvise and engage in life with provocative wonderment. There are many ways to contemplay. You can practice contemplayful juggling, gardening, quilting or dancing. This essay offers an invitation into (and overview of) the vision and practice of contemplayful singing. It also is meant as an introduction to The Contemplayful Songbook. We co-enchant when we mingle imaginations through creative expression. Contemplayful co-enchantment is a convivial craft. Friends who contemplay together are contemplaymates. Contemplaymates practice co-enchantment in consensual cohorts. A contemplayful singing cohort consists of 2 to 12 contemplaymates who collaborate in raising resonant voices and attuning attentive ears. Contemplayful singers play with paradox: We cultivate disciplined spontaneity. We encourage each other to sing with confident vulnerability. We balance easygoing excellence with serious whimsy. In harmonizing opposites we foster both our personal and cultural evolution. As Krista Tippett observes: "In life and society, wisdom emerges precisely in those moments when we have to hold seemingly opposing realities in a creative tension and interplay: power and frailty, birth and death, pain and hope, beauty and brokenness, mystery and conviction, calm and fierceness, mine and yours." Here, Sinead O’Connor muses on how we can unify our opposites by singing: It’s no accident that the voice is placed where it is, right between the head and the heart… The voice is halfway between the heavens and the earth—constantly grounding us to the earth at times then guiding our path up out of it at other times… Song and chant places us in the “between”—between heart and head, between the beyond and the here-and-now—pulling us in two directions. In this unity of opposites lies its healing powers. How can we realize this union of opposites? This question is key to the craft of co-enchantment. Singers co-enchant when they mingle imaginations and voices, bridging self and other, expression and reception, visionary heights and emotional depths. Later in this essay I’ll present some recipes for contemplayful co-enchantment. To convey both the spirit and form of these recipes, let me introduce some contemplayful concepts: A Contemplayful Vocabulary "Uttering a word is like striking a note on the keyboard of the imagination." -Ludwig Wittgenstein Eight seed concepts articulate the vision and practice of contemplayful singing. I offer brief definitions of them below. In the pages that follow, they’re more fully elaborated. This contemplayful vocabulary has grown over years of musical experimenting and conversation. These terms help us describe and refine our craft. They’re essential notes on our keyboards of imaginations. 1. Contemplay: To engage in contemplative play. 2. Consensuality: The practice/experience of feeling, thinking and acting in consort with others. 3. Presonance: Presence joined with resonance; a dynamic attunement of bodies, hearts and minds. 4. Co-Enchantment: A communion of imaginations and intentions, an uplifting mutuality generated by learning and singing together. 5. Interspection: A joint reflection, shared by two or more collaborators, on the patterns, purposes and perceptions that shape their relationship. 6. The Song Seed Game: The propagation of co-enchantment and wonderstanding through contemplayful singing. 7. Singing Dojo: A community of singers who cultivate consensual co-enchantment. 8. Mugician: A musical magician, or a magical musician; a player of the Song Seed Game. Here’s a fuller exploration of these seed concepts: Contemplay The word “Contemplay'' is a fusion of “contemplate” and “play.” To contemplay is to harmonize action and reflection, depth and levity, spontaneity and deliberation. “Contemplay” branches into a family of related words, including: *Contemplaying - "We spent several fruitful hours contemplaying the agenda for our annual retreat." *Contemplayful - "I'm feeling contemplayful this morning. Let's grab our ukes and head to the river!" *Contemplayer - "Sue is such a dedicated contemplayer. She inspires me to up my game." *Contemplaymate - "He and I have been contemplaymates for years.” *Contemplaydate - “We meet every Wednesday night for a contemplaydate.” *Contemplayground - “The singing dojo is our contemplayground.” Consensuality Much emphasis is given these days to the importance of “consent,” both in a legal sense and as a relationship ethic. In musing on consent, I consider the overlapping meanings of three related words: consent, consensus, and consensual: Con-sent, verb: 1. give permission for something to happen. etymology: from Latin consentire, from con-‘together’ + sentire ‘feel.’ (To consent is to “feel together.”) Con-sen-sus, noun: 1. general agreement: UNANIMITY etymology: from Latin consentire, from con-‘together’ + sentire ‘feel.’ "Consent" and "consensus" mingle in the word "consensual": Con-sen-su-al, adjective: 1. relating to or involving consent or consensus. Notice how the Latin root "sentire" is embedded in many words: Consenting… Sentient… Sentiment… Sentinel… Scent… Sense… Sensitive… Sensible… Sensual. “Sentire” conveys a sense of consciousness, of awareness. Likewise “consent” and “consensus” imply mutual understanding, a shared sensibility, a shared reality. Consent and the spirit of consensuality are fundamental to all forms of social play amongst equals. A game flourishes when players consent to act in accord with the game’s rules, boundaries and spirit. We can consider conversations also as consensual games (at least some of the time). Every culture has its own rules and rhythms of conversation. (Note: Games and conversations in which one or more players participate unwillingly or half-heartedly aren't fully consensual.) Consensuality is more often implicit (i.e. unspoken, based on tradition or habit) than explicit (negotiated). Implicit consensuality works fine when one is operating within a familiar status quo. When we’re breaking new ground, navigating a crisis, or growing a new culture, we need consensual clarity, mutuality about our terms of engagement. To grow consensuality is to grow a culture. Presonance Presonance is a hybrid word: presence + resonance. Consider each of these terms on its own: “Presence” is a quality of wholehearted awareness and engagement that manifests when a person is focused, curious and engaged. (In a related vein, educators at MIT have developed a practice of social sensemaking and changemaking that they refer to as “Presencing.” Otto Scharmer writes: “When moving into the state of presencing, perception begins to happen from a future possibility that depends on us to come into reality.” Learn more at the website of the Presencing Institute: www.presencing.org) “Resonance” holds both a physical and psychological meaning. When you sing, the vibrations of your vocal cords resonate in your body. From there the sound emerges into the world, where it may further resonate in the environment. When we sing together, we experience the resonance of our voices in unison and harmony. Beyond this physical resonance, singing evokes emotional and imaginative resonances. When we experience such resonance in song, we enjoy a communion of voices, hearts and minds. As lyricist Yip Harburg observed: "Words make you think a thought. Music makes you feel a feeling. A song makes you feel a thought." Psychologists use the term “positivity resonance” to describe the rejuvenating rapport people generate when actively attuned to each other. Positivity resonance grows when we consensually engage in work, play or conversation. It’s key to fruitful teamwork and collaboration. Think of a human being as a musical instrument. Each of us has unique timbres, and an innate capacity to resonate, to contain and give forth music. We play and are played by each other, sometimes roughly or inconsiderately, other times with great sensitivity. Young children are easily played by others, by life. They readily resonate with awe, delight and/or dismay at life's everyday wonders and tragedies. As we become adults (adulterated?) our capacity to resonate can diminish. We protect ourselves in the armor of conformity and/or indifference. We’re simultaneously wary of being played and hungry to be played. People flock to spectacles like sporting events and concerts to shed their armor for a while. In these designated zones we resonate and empathize freely with strong emotions. We feel we’re participating in a great story or song. Such resonance fulfills a basic human need. Lack of resonance can lead to depression and/or apathy. So, presonance is an interpersonal attunement that emerges from and sustains interpersonal alignment. It emerges most consistently in consensual relationships and teams, when participants are “all in.” Presonance begins within. We start by going “all in” with ourselves. A contemplayful singer is dedicated first and foremost to raising their own presonance. As drummer Mickey Hart observed: “As a musician the idea is to uplift your own spirit, because if you don't uplift your spirit, you won't be able to lift anyone else's.” Co-Enchantment Co-Enchantment is the mingling of hearts, minds and imaginations that transpires in spirited social singing. The roots of the word “enchant” illuminate this meaning: en-chant: from Latin incantare, from in- "upon, into" + cantare

Timothy 2005 Queering Polyamory: Configurations, Public Policy, and Lived Experiences. M.S. thesis, Ethnic and Multi-cultural Studies, Minnesota State University, Mankato, 100 leaves. “Queering Polyamory: Configurations, Public Policy, and Lived Experiences” explores polyamory, a relationship “lovestyle” that involves more then one loving partner, while taking a close look at the social construction of modern day queer polyamory including marriage and sex law. The author states that queer polyamory is socially constructed due to its inclusion of self-identifying gay men, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, gender-variant, omnisexual, pansexual, and queer individuals. This thesis includes a study of participants involved in queer polyamorous relationships. The study concludes that a population that engages in queer polyamorous relationships is diverse in regards to demographics; this is to say state of residence, age, gender, ethnicity, religious/spiritual affiliation, sexual identity and/or orientation, and relationship identity and/or orientation and ways individuals come to be part of queer polyamorous relationships. The study looks at how “out” the participants are and how public policy is affecting the lives of those who engage in queer polyamorous relationships.

    Achieving Open Vocabulary Neural Machine Translation with Hybrid Word-Character Models Minh-Thang Luong and Christopher D. Manning Computer Science Department, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305 {lmthang,manning}@stanford.edu Abstract Nearly all previous work on neural ma- chine translation (NMT) has used quite restricted vocabularies, perhaps with a subsequent method to patch in unknown words. This paper presents a novel word- character solution to achieving open vo- cabulary NMT. We build hybrid systems that translate mostly at the word level and consult the character components for rare words. Our character-level recur- rent neural networks compute source word representations and recover unknown tar- get words when needed. The twofold advantage of such a hybrid approach is that it is much faster and easier to train than character-based ones; at the same time, it never produces unknown words Figure 1: Hybrid NMT – example of a word- as in the case of word-based models.

Despite the progress of the technology, the roles of humans and machines essentially remain intact as MT/APE are moving from the peripheries of the translation field closer towards collaborative human-machine based MT/APE in modern transla- tion workflows. Professional translators increasingly become post-editors correcting raw MT/APE output instead of translating from scratch which in turn increases productivity in terms of translation speed. The last decade has seen substantial growth in research and development activities on improving MT; usually concentrating on selected aspects of workflows starting from training data pre-processing techniques to core MT processes to post-editing methods.

    Polyamory – A Labor of Love Boundary Work and Legitimization of Non-Normative Intimate Relationships Audrey Stark Master’s Thesis in Sociology Department of Sociology and Human Geography UNIVERSITY OF OSLO June 2015 I II Polyamory – A Labor of Love Boundary Work and Legitimization of Non-Normative Intimate Relationships Audrey Stark III © Audrey Stark 2015 Polyamory – A Labor of Love Boundary Work and Legitimization of Non-Normative Intimate Relationships Audrey Stark http://www.duo.uio.no Print: The University Print Centre, University of Oslo IV Abstract Polyamory is a relatively new concept that is receiving an increasing amount of attention in research, popular culture and in society at large. Although polyamory has been, and continues to be, conceptualized in a number of different ways, there is agreement that it involves intimate relationships that are not limited to two people. As such, polyamory stands in contrast to the mononormative notion, in contemporary Western culture, that such relationships should be restricted to the realm of monogamous coupledom. Those who identify as polyamorous or engage in polyamorous practice contest monogamy in their daily lives through the way they understand love and the way they form affective relationships. This thesis examines the culture of polyamory in a Scandinavian context, where there, thus far, has been limited research on the subject. My exploration is based on the following research questions: 1) What are the most important narratives that emerge in the accounts of those who are affiliated with the culture of polyamory? 2) What elements characterize those narratives and what meanings do these individuals attach to these elements? 3) And finally, how do they use these narratives to create symbolic boundaries in an effort to present polyamory as a legitimate way of doing relationships? To answer these questions, I use a combination of naturally occurring and researcher-provoked data, drawing on online conversation threads, interviews and participant observation.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. Christina Wang Trust, Jealousy, and Communication in Long-Term Couples Practicing Consensual Non-Monogamy ABSTRACT This cross-sectional exploratory quantitative study examined trust and communication patterns among adults practicing consensual non-monogamy (CNM). Previous relationship research in this area has primarily examined couples in demographically homogenous relationships (heterosexual, white, and married). A review of the literature suggested that adults engaging in consensual non-monogamy are more diverse. Our recruitment strategies and study design was successful in recruiting a more diverse group of participants. Twenty-eight adults in long-term CNM relationships completed a 56-item online questionnaire. Responses were examined to explore the relationship between communication patterns and relationship tenure. The relationship tenure of couples and the gender preference of participants were allowed to vary in an effort to explore the possibility that relationship tenure is associated with positive self- reports on trust and communication dimensions. The findings were more thematically relevant than statistically significant; however emotional jealousy was found to have decreased as length of relationship increased.
